Office building for Hammes Company at 210 E. Knapp St.

Two-phase project broke ground in February 2017. Hammes anticipated occupying 36,000 square-feet in the building when the project was announced.

Miron Construction is serving as the general contractor. The building is being designed by DGP Architects with Eppstein Uhen Architects serving as the architect of record. The first phase of the project is expected to cost $27 to $30 million.

The second phase would be built within three years according to Jon Hammes. It would be a five to eight-story building with up to 100,000 square feet of leasable space.

The land, an empty lot, became substantially more attractive for development following the demolition of the Park East Freeway spur.

The site was acquired in July 2015 by an investment group led by Jon Hammes.
